Prophets Said (Single)
Released February 14, 2025
The 2nd single from The Siege EP, “Prophets Said” is a heart-wrenching yet hopeful look at love that has run its course. With lines like “We were just ships passing in the night / Flames dancing in eternal vibes”, Emory captures the bittersweet realization that some relationships are fated to end—but that doesn’t make them any less meaningful.
The song’s driving electric guitars, haunting organ swells, and Emory’s smoky, Petty-esque vocals create a dynamic blend of classic rock energy and modern storytelling.

Song Lyrics
Prophets Said
By Louis J. Emory
Tried to call it quits
Too many times before this split
You kept stringing me along
Singing me a pretty song
But as the prophets said
This must end
Suppressing these emotions
Running through the motions
Just moving on like I always did
How many more lonely nights
Must I stay awake at night
Cause the hope in my heart is starting to drift
We were just ships passing in the night
Flames dancing in eternal vibes
Soul supernovas bursting through the afterlife
Romanticizing about back then
When we used to be such friends
But you burned the bridge and laid to waste
As the prophets said
This must end
You’re self-obsessed and selfish
Hanging out with materialists
But baby you knew that was never my scene
Nor would it ever be
We were just ships passing in the night
Flames dancing in eternal vibes
Soul supernovas bursting through the afterlife
We were just ships passing in the night
Flames dancing in eternal vibes
Soul supernovas bursting through the afterlife
We were just ships passing in the night
Flames dancing in eternal vibes
Soul supernovas bursting through the afterlife
